This oversized sweater is quickly knit side to side in stockinette stitch with a main color. The provisionally cast on stitches are picked up so you can customize the sleeve length with a contrast color. Single crochet edges add a finished detail to the neck and waistline. Play with some fun and funky cross stitch and other embroidery techniques on the reverse stockinette side of the fabric. Add your favorite animal onto the sweater or play with abstract embroidered shapes.
